In North Attleborough, there is the World War I Memorial Park and Zoo.

This park is a wooded lot with several features.

The most notable feature is the petting zoo in the center of the park. This zoo has goats, sheep, pigs, and horses to feed and pet. In addition, there are some other animals that aren't available to feed, such as a donkey and emus.

Nearby is Julia's Garden; a place dedicated to a child, where there is a flower garden, a long slide, and a walkway with a unicorn sculpture looking back. There are picnic areas and walking paths, too.

There are picnic areas in other parts of the park, and there is a fire tower on the summit of the hill.

One road loops around to the areas.
